The prophet Mohammed has been drawn many times. It’s a shame that very often the head of Muhammed has been scratched off of the paintings. People still honored the artwork but thought depicting the prophet was a mistake. Persian miniature art is a beautiful world to dive into if art has your interest. Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād would be a nice starting point.
In Islam, there is an apocryphal story of the prophet Muhammad doing this for his cat Muezza.
I was hoping it would be a picture, not a story :(
That would imply having to draw the prophet Muhammad.
